. The cooling speed and the power consumption of the refrigerator
the temperatures at the different selected points in the refrigerator were measured under the different charging amount
with and without adding nano-particles in the system. The experimental results show that there was an optimal cooling speed and an optimal power consumption of the refrigerator but their corresponding charging amounts were different. With nano-particles under the same conditions
the refrigerator performance rose. The temperature of the compressor shell decreased by 2.2 ℃ while the suction
temperature changed slightly. Moreover
the discharge temperature decreased by 3.5 ℃ and the average evaporator temperature decreased by 0.3 ℃. The cooling time decreased by 148 seconds and the power consumption decreased slightly. It seems that the nano-particles may be effective to enhance the heat transfer of the refrigerant and improving the property of the mineral oil.
